Abstract

We study how organizations can exist to facilitate coordination in a diverse population by mitigating strategic uncertainty. Members of an organization are obliged to take collective actions, which mitigates strategic uncertainty. But some actions may be detrimental to some members, thus jeopardizing the organization's sustainability. This tradeoff caps organization size and limits the resulting welfare improvement. Organizations can exist only if coordination motives dominate the diversity of the population, up to a size limit. Our framework can be applied to examine the impact of immigration or polarization on the inclusiveness of the social order.
多元人口中的组织与协调
我们研究组织如何通过减少战略不确定性来促进不同人群中的协调。组织的成员有义务采取集体行动,这减轻了战略上的不确定性。但有些行动可能对某些成员有害,从而危及组织的可持续性。这种权衡限制了组织规模,限制了由此带来的福利改善。组织只有在协调动机主导人口多样性的情况下才能存在,直到规模有限。我们的框架可以用来检验移民或两极分化对社会秩序包容性的影响。
